So your looking at the hottest gadget around wondering which is the best iPod and you are probably looking at the same wall of problems that many people face every day. Which one is best? Where do you buy it from? Whats the best price? How much memory do you need?
I faced the same issues and as I am now on my third, yes third, I thought an article on the best iPod and the best iPod price would be a great idea and help a lot of people out.
Right, getting straight down to business. The different types of iPod.
iPod Touch - The most advanced of them all, touch screen technology, games, photo and video storage. An amazing handheld entertainment system really. Oh and you can also surf the net on it. Prices start at £152 new or £124 used.
iPod Classic - This is the original iPod, the most standard of them all along with the shuffle. Looks great and now comes in a standard memory size that can hold up to 30,000 songs. No fancy business here just a cool mp3 for Apple fans. Prices start at 2
iPod Nano - Sleek and tall and even thinner than before in the newest model. Also has some new software features inside making finding your tracks a lot easier. Prices start at £97 new or as low as £79 used.
iPod Shuffle - The budget model but still a good buy. It can hold around 240 tracks which is nowhere near the memory capacity of the other iPods but never the less that's still a lot of music. New £31 Used £25.
All of the above models come with varying memory size apart from the classic which has 120Gb as standard. When choosing your iPod take this into account and think about how much music your wanting to store.
If you work on the rough guide that 1Gb will store up to about 150 songs you should then be able to choose the right one when buying your iPod online.
So which is the best iPod?
Hands down it has to be the iPod Touch. It is the must have gadget of 2009 and with all the features it has its beats the other models hands down. Yes it is one of the more expensive models and for larger memories you can pay in excess of over £200.
But think about all the storage of videos and photos and think of the fun and convenience of being able to surf the net and even watch YouTube videos wherever you are?!
It's the best iPod purchase by far, looks great, touch screen actually works and considering the iPod classic can be around a similar range why would you want a basic model when you can get all the software and feature of the Touch?
So what stores have the best price for your iPod and where is the best place to buy, whatever model you choose?
I have always bought my iPods from Amazon but I thought I would hunt around the web to see if there are any better deals.
After a few minutes searching the closest competitors were Argos and the official I-Store but still no one could beat Amazon. Not only is Amazon cheaper for the actual unit but they also offer free delivery and have access to a lot of extras such as protective screens, some at package discounts when purchased together.
You may also consider buying a used model if your budget is small. Not something you can do unless you go to eBay but there's all kinds of issues when you do that!
Here's a quick price rundown comparing the iPod Touch 8gb.
Amazon = £152
Argos = £165
I-Store = £165
Amazon is a winner hands down and along with its customer care, secure online ordering and great returns policy I highly recommend it to anyone looking to buy and iPod online or looking for the best iPod price around.
So that should conclude it and I hope this helps you out. The cheapest iPod you can buy is a shuffle and the cheapest place to buy an iPod is amazon, the Touch is definitely the best iPod.
Done.
